    Study Notes

    Divisions of Exfoliative Cytology

    • There are two divisions of exfoliative cytology: diagnostic exfoliative cytology and cytopathology
    • Diagnostic exfoliative cytology involves the study of normal cells to assess hormonal status and determine the 'true sex' of an individual
    • Cytopathology involves the study of abnormal cells, such as cancer cells

    Diagnostic Exfoliative Cytology

    • The main purpose of diagnostic exfoliative cytology in relation to tumors is to detect malignancy and determine the type of tumor
    • It is also used to assess the hormonal status of an individual
    • Diagnostic exfoliative cytology is used to determine the 'true sex' of an individual

    Criteria for Microscopic Diagnosis of Cancer

    • The criteria for microscopic diagnosis of cancer involves variation in size, shape, form, and appearance of the cells
    • The criteria also include abnormal chromatin distribution, increased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and abnormal mitotic figures

    Cytopathology

    • The main focus of cytopathology is the study of abnormal cells, such as cancer cells
    • Cytopathology is also known as oncologic cytopathology

    Cytotechnique

    • Cytotechnique primarily involves the study of different methods of preparing cells for microscopic examination

    Synonym for Cancer

    • The synonym for cancer in exfoliative cytology is malignant neoplasm
